Meh, we're one major Heat injury from having a decent shot. Even without one, we still have a puncher's chance, since JG is about as close to an LBJ-stopper as you could ask for in this league. Also their team sucks as bad as we do at rebounding, so there's that.

I agree. We've shown we can beat the heat on any given night. We've got their card on D, relatively. Bosh and ray are X factors.

TPAlthough, I do think we could use a bit more depth (another decent big, and maybe a guard).

Actually, yeah, injuries are the real c factors.

My pic is now, and will be Fab Melo until he posts his first official NBA dbl-dbl. This may be permanent.

I would consider amending that statement if Danny can pick us up a good big man to help us in the paint.

No "good big man" is the difference between us and Miami. It all comes down to how KG and Pierce play. If they play the way they should they can easily beat the Heat in 7 games.

So you don't think a guy like Gortat would help us against Miami? Heck, I'd even take somebody like Chris Kaman or Elton Brand, if they're available at a decent price. We don't need stars. We need a reliable backup big man who can do damage in the paint and rebound for us.

The odds would be long but I don't care. I'm really pleased to see the team is playing team basketball since Rondo went done. To me, it seems all 5 players on the court at any given time have an understanding of what they should be doing. If that continues then irregardless of the final result, this team is finally playing to the capability we thought they could before the season began.
